Run Away With Me, Lucille…

Today’s Run:  4.00 miles

Do you have that song stuck on your brain now?  Sorry about that.  I was just trying to find a running theme as the title for today’s blog.

In reality, we are going to talk about…running!  That is right.  My all time favorite topic next to MFH and my chickens.

Today’s run was a bit on the chilly side.  It was 41 F. and rainy towards the end.  We had a lot of thunder but I did not see any lightening.  There was a rather stiff Northerly breeze as well.  It. Felt. Great.

I would have run in a blizzard just because it is so good to be back running again!!!  I have really missed it.  So have my jeans.  They are a bit more snug than when I was running a lot of miles.  The scale (scales are evil) has stayed the same but the sand was beginning to shift.  I am back to running and not a moment too soon!!!  Whew!

People have been asking about the leg.  How is it?  Does it hurt anymore?  Should you be running?…..

The leg feels fabulous!

I have been very careful.  MFH has been with me on two of my three runs.  I have been listening to his advice.  When I have been by myself, I have had my phone with me.  If I had any feedback from my leg whatsoever, I would have called him to come a get me.

I spent too long on crutches to blow it now.

It is so good to be up and running again!  I cannot express the joy I have felt heading out the front door in the morning, even in the rain, and running just for the fun of it.

I have run pain free.  I cannot remember the last time I did that.  Have not even needed an Advil pre-run!  How awesome is that!?!  This is glorious!

I see my Ortho Dr. on March 7.   If he ASKS if I have been running, I will tell him.  Period.

Until then, I intend to log some miles!    🙂
